The fact that states, intelligence and security agencies
engage in false flag staged terror to further political agendas is documented
throughout history, but it's too naive to simply characterize every
act as an "inside job." Different methods are utilized to
facilitate attacks using three different basic templates.

1) Unwitting Dupes

In this case, role players are used to test "security
responses" by being told they are part of an exercise for a dummy
terrorist attack, an operation that will help the state prevent similar
attacks in future. The controllers tell the unwitting dupes that no
harm will come to them and that their help will be greatly rewarded.

This is by far the most used method. In this case, radicals
with past ties to terrorist groups are hired as informants to infiltrate
mainly Islamic political groups and encourage them to carry out acts of
terror. In almost every case, the materials required to carry out the
attack are directly provided by intelligence agencies or via the hired
provocateur. Agent provocateurs also take the guise of undercover government
agents, who radicalize otherwise harmless groups over a long period of
time and provide financial and material support and safe passage for the
group to carry out the attack.

- 1993 WTC Bombing

The first World Trade Center bombing was provocateured
by the government. In 1993 the FBI planted their informant, Emad A. Salem,
within a radical Arab group in New York led by Ramzi Yousef. Salem was
ordered to encourage the group to carry out a bombing targeting the World
Trade Center's twin towers. Under the illusion that the project was a
sting operation, Salem asked the FBI for harmless dummy explosives which
he would use to assemble the bomb and then pass on to the group. At this
point the FBI cut Salem out of the loop and provided the group with real
explosives, leading to the attack on February 26 that killed six and injured
over a thousand. The FBI's failure to prevent the bombing was reported
on by the New York Times in October 1993.

3) Complete Complicity

Acts of complete complicity, where the state controls and
dictates the attack every step of the way, are only used for major bellwether
terrorist atrocities with clearly defined and planned outcomes. Pre-arranged
patsies are set-up to take the fall for the attack, but they play very
little or no role whatsoever in actually carrying out the attack. 9/11
is the obvious example, but another major case where this method was first
used dates back to the 1950's.

- Bombing Campaign Against Mossadegh's Iran

Kermit Roosevelt admitted on NPR radio that in 1953 the
CIA and British intelligence carried out a wave of bombings and shootings
in Iran to overthrow the democratically elected Premier following Mossadegh's
declaration that he would nationalize foreign oil holdings. He then went
on to brag about how they subsequently blamed the bombings on Mossadegh
himself. The CIA's own account of the overthrow, reported
on by the New York Times in April 2000, states that the agency "directed
a campaign of bombings" as part of the coup d’état.
